The program is unique among other medical cannabis programs in the country, and recently it underwent some changes. Starting from July 1, 2026, the state of Georgia stopped utilizing its previous “Low THC Oil” program for a more advanced Medical Cannabis Program, eliminating the confusing 5% THC ceiling, as well as increasing the number of qualified conditions and ways of utilization. Reach out to a Georgia-licensed doctor for the certification, and once approved, the Medical Cannabis Registry Card will be issued by the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH).
Georgia is one of the most restrictive medical cannabis states in the country. It has no recreational cannabis market, no smokable flowers, and no home-growing allowed. However, once you have the qualifying condition, the certification will provide you with access to a wide variety of medicinal cannabis products in the state-licensed dispensaries and pharmacies.

Three Simple Steps to Get Your Georgia Medical Marijuana Card
One of the unique features of the certification process in Georgia is that the majority of the state registration is conducted by your doctor.
Step 1: Get Certified by a Georgia-Licensed Physician
Contact a doctor licensed in Georgia who is in good standing with the Georgia Composite Medical Board. The doctor will review your medical history and certify whether you have one of Georgia’s qualifying conditions.
Step 2: Your Physician Submits Your Registry Information
While in other states the patient is responsible for submitting the application him or herself, in Georgia, your physician is responsible for submitting your certification and waiver form directly to the DPH’s Medical Cannabis Patient Registry.
Step 3: Pay Your Fee and Receive Your Card
Upon verification by the DPH of your information, you will receive an email with instructions for paying the $30 state fee. Your card will be issued to you around 10 business days after payment and can be used at any Georgia dispensary or pharmacy.
